About Me

We are both Suffolk born and bred and have been married for 38 years, we have 3 grown up children and a new grandson and even newer granddaughter. Colin worked for the County Council for over 30 years and then went self-employed to earn a living on our self sufficient smallholding and campsite. Because of his diagnosis of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma we had to give up our smallholding in 2015 and lived in Ipswich for a year while Colin had chemotherapy. Unfortunately his treatment didn't work and he is now having a brand new type of drug in the hope of having a donor stem cell transplant later this year. We've now moved to a cottage at the end of a lane in Mid Suffolk where we will enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside for as long as possible.
